  “Requiring every citizen to provide a passport or birth certificate in person to register or update their voter information would impact all of us, but would especially impact working-class Americans, older voters, women who’ve changed their last name, and those who’ve lost essential documents due to natural disasters.” // And they are pushing this in the short time between now and November.

  @mralancooper Allegedly DOW wanted to (did?) shoot lasers at “Mexican drones” and FAA couldn’t get answers, so they shut it down without notifying the mayor or the gov or the other feds. Not sure why the 10 days at first, but now it’s back open and everyone is pointing fingers at each other.
